The misogynistic testosterone laden Duke Lacrosse team has shown the advantage of their white male privilege by brutally assaulting innocent students from other schools to gain top position among their league of racist, sexist, homophobes.

Signed,

A “progressive” tenured Duke Professor.

(This is my tag line. There are many like it, but this one is mine.)

Duke (16-4) became the first team to collect its first mens lacrosse title since Princeton won it in 1992. The Blue Devils are the eighth team to win a national title in the sports 40-year history.

Rodgers made 15 saves for the Fighting Irish (10-7).

Duke erased a 5-4 deficit when Justin Turri deposited a Zach Howell feed between Rodgers legs with 8:44 left. But neither team could manage anything in the rest of regulation, with Turris last-second shot soaring over the cage.

Costabile, who was 6-for-10 on faceoffs, then cleanly beat Trever Sipperly and deposited the winner to quickly put an end to overtime.

Goalie Dan Wigrizer made five saves for Duke.

It was the lowest-scoring title game in NCAA history.

When you walk away, no matter what the contest, the other side wins automatically. Maybe since the players had committed to the program and the coach, those who stuck with it thought it was the honorable thing to do.

abb, the funny thing is that I've always been anti-Duke in terms of athletics, even during our Nifong researching days, but this news brings me joy on an otherwise somber day.

I think of the men and women who gave all did indeed fight to give people like Collin, Reade, and David the chance to win against a corrupt media, university, police department, and DA. It still amazes me how the truth finally came out, and people like you were a big part in spreading the word.

So, today, I can be happy that DukeLAX won a title that it deserved years ago.
